Magneto rushes to the citadel to find Charles Xavier mortally wounded by the Winter Soldier’s blade. Xavier pleads for mercy before dying in Magnus’ arms. Bucky reveals himself and he attacks Magneto with non-metallic knife and gun; Magneto moves Captain America’s shield to block the bullets then hurls the shield to decapitate Bucky.

Civil War: House of M (2008 series) #4 Review by (August 3, 2022)

Review: See issue #1 for complete review.

Comments: House of M is officially designated Earth-58163. Other mutants seen include Blob, Toad, Iceman, Banshee, Unus, Dragoness, Gateway, Lifter, Burner, Slither. The cover shows Magneto destroying the Statue of Liberty; this does not happen in the series but is frequently used as a symbol in stories like this.
